waterdress, a photo by Lorie McCown on Flickr.
One of 4 art dresses I've made based on the 4 elements of earth, fire, air and
water. Made of hand dyed fabrics and fibers, each one took me over 2 weeks
to make. Hand and machine sewn, embroidered and appliqued. This dress is a
bit 'fish' shaped, with positive and negative kelp and fish shapes all over.
It's over 70" long and wearable. I have made hangers for all of them as well.
Here's a detail shot of the dress..
Maybe a 'wave' dress next..

Your dresses are beautiful! I know they are art pieces, but are they wearable? How wonderful to wear a piece of art out to dinner!
Amy- Yes, in theory you can wear them. There is a front/back etc. That was not my first intention, but I sewed clothing a million years ago, so use those techniques for the 'base'. The rest, though, is all art! xo
